Making sketchup free run faster

In this model, you’ve been using layers incorrectly even though you only have one layer besides Layer 0. Layer 0 should remain the active layer at all times–you have the Water System layer set to be active. All edges and faces should be created and remain on Layer 0 at all times.

Ok, working quite a bit better now - Thanks! Still the occasional delay of a few seconds, but nothing to really complain about.

I’m not sure how it got that way though. Once I switched over to the web app, I separated the house so that each room was its own model. I used the web tools to purge the unneeded components, styles, and materials. I also tried to fix the layers, but had some issues getting that to work. Best I could do was manually delete the unwanted ones and have everything go to the active layer (which was stuck on Water System).

I am pretty sure the component purge was successful the first time, but I did notice that some unused materials wouldn’t go away. Guessing something with the component purge led to the rest. Down to about 7 MB and was able to switch active layers. I hope I wouldn’t do this, but maybe I didn’t fully delete everything outside of this room before purging?

As far as layer usage, that one is definitely on me. I’ve read up on them a couple times and still have no idea what I’m doing there.
The fittings are pretty much entirely from the Warehouse - I was putting off modeling my specific versions until I got them. I tried quickly simplifying a few, but some of that is still beyond me. Although I’m 100% sure I deleted that logo on the handle…

Here’s what I’ve got now:

@IanT

everything you said and the file is about 1/10th the size. I ran Cleanup 3 (you were much quicker as usual) This i

Anything I can do about those stray edges on the web version?

[IanT]

I’m not sure, I spotted a bunch of them around the top of the tanks above the pipework. That’s why I ran Cleanup mainly to get rid of all of them. I don’t know if there’s a quick way to do that on the web version…

Ok, interesting. I can think of a couple sources - I used an extension to add text for some images I was sharing. I used another one to try and simplify some of those valve models, which is why they have a few areas that don’t look quite right. Maybe something left over from one of them?

[IanT]

I got the original back up again. I couldn’t tell you where they came from, only that it’s best to get rid of them as you go along. Turn on Hidden geometry to see them, I snipped an image showing a few of them…(bedtime)

[Hatsuwr]

Huh, that’s interesting. I think the ones near the 45°s came with them from the Warehouse. The ones on the tanks are right where I had used the text tool, although some other areas I used the tool look clean.

Strange, and thank you!
